UCLA redshirt freshman linebacker Asi Faoa will have another
preliminary hearing today at 8 a.m. at the Airport Courthouse of
Los Angeles. The hearing marks the third time Faoa will appear
before a judge after receiving continuances on Aug. 7 and Sept.
18.
Faoa is charged with one count each of mayhem and assault after
an altercation which occurred in Westwood on April 30 which left
then-third-year psychology student Rodrigo DeZubiria brain
damaged.
DeZubiria says Faoa was the aggressor, looking for a fight. Faoa
said he struck DeZubiria in self-defense.
